Rand Paul: Now in Comic Book Form

For several years, Bluewater Productions has been putting out comic book biographies of famous politicians, putting familiar (or even dry) anecdotes into the slam-bang format of origin stories. Its latest offering in the "Political Power" line is a book about Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. "We've had him on our radar for a little bit," said Bluewater publisher Darren Davis. "We were working on this for about the last four or five months, and just got really lucky in the timing."

The comic—an advance copy of which was shown to reporters today—presents Paul's life through an interview he's giving to an occasionally nosy reporter. The reporter's prodding allows the author, University of Missouri professor Mike Frizell, to let Paul take swings at questions he doesn't like without the reader feeling like the senator's driving the conversation. (Paul did not sit for a fresh interview with Frizell.)
